Lyric

I saw the whiteman coming
he gets off his plane
he gets in his land-rover
and heads from the mines

I saw the whiteman coming
coming to steal
and to rape
and he calls it business

I saw the black man waiting
ready to rob his brothers
and to give away his sisters
for a couple of US dollars

I saw the black nurses wondering
wondering why
they keep sending all these white nurses
to take away their jobs

I saw Art and Tom coming
they get off the train
They're all geared up to record
and they're kind of insane

I saw the white girls coming
coming to get
what they can't get at home
it's cheap it's fun
and it don't last too long

I saw the businessmen coming
Cheatin' on their wives
With underage girls
Buzzing around their hives
I saw you coming back a year ago
Won't you please tell me more
all about your voyage
all the things that you did
all the people you met

Now I wanna know
my blue eyed son
all the cars that you drove
all the girls you've been fooling around with

I saw the whiteman coming
coming to steal
and to rape
and he calls it business

I saw you coming back a year ago
